[8] [9] Valverde is a classless punk. Me no likey. And while I don’t like Joba’s histrionics, Soriano’s shirt thing doesn’t bother me so much. It’s more like a trademark move and possibly a result of superstition.

8) Agreed. He’s a chump.

I am not a fan of the theatrics of pitchers or players after hitting a homer. This goes for you too Joba and to a degree Soriano.

But Valverde is a real punk.

Of course he does. Donald Trump issued his demand on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon, though it wasn’t known whether he already had seen Joe Girardi’s lineup for ALDS Game 3. Yes, Alex Rodriguez is staying put in the No. 3 spot against the Baltimore Orioles, no matter how many media outlets or rich folk clamor for a change

Regardless, The Donald let his opinion be known as only The Donald can:
A-Rod must be dropped in the Yankees line-up tonight if they want to win. He simply can’t perform without drugs.

Keep in mind that Eric Chavez has played more than 1,500 big league games in his career. Keep in mind that he’s won five Gold Gloves, one Silver Slugger, and once homered in a game that clinched a postseason series. Keep in mind that he’s not the guy who homered tonight.

“(This game) is my best baseball moment in my whole career, without a doubt,” Chavez said. “… There’s not even a close second.”
